The endowment will benefit the Department of Bioengineering, with distributions to be used to support activities specifically related to molecular engineering, including student scholarships and fellowships.
"Stratos has been a great partner for UW Bioengineering over the years," Paul Yager, Chair of the UW Department of Bioengineering, said. "Stratos has been bringing UW technologies to patients in the form of elegant, highly-functional products, many with the help of UW Bioengineering graduates. We are both very grateful to Stratos for funding this endowment, and proud to be able to work together with Stratos to help populate the region's medically-oriented companies with more great students."
"Stratos is committed to pushing the envelope of innovation," Stratos Product Development founder and CEO, Allan Stephan, said. "Our commitment is reflected in the work we do at Stratos Product Development as well as in our current in-house incubation, Stratos Genomics. We consider molecular engineering to be on the cutting edge of technology," Stephan continued, "and recognize the enormous role this science will play in addressing future global issues. Our scholarship is intended to support the effort to attract more people to this emerging and critical field."
The University of Washington's Department of Bioengineering, which is in both the School of Medicine and the College of Engineering, is a recognized international leader in using education and research to encourage biomedical invention. UW faculty and students bridge traditional disciplines to drive healthcare forward for those in remote parts of the world and here at home. Students, scientists, engineers and physicians come together in Bioengineering to develop innovative and cost-effective approaches to improve health care.
